Lasisi Babatunde Damilare is a Nigerian artist who focuses on the
ironies of the human body. In his work he challenges the notions of
beauty and youth and uses humour to portray people with exaggerated
bodies. They are depicted in the throes of daily life without any
awareness of their size. As a result they become human, sympathetic
and genuine. We see his talent securely matching his subject matter.
He doesn’t shy away from poking fun at the ideal beauty. Through
careful consideration of what it means to be thin or not thin he
strips away society’s ideal. In turn, he reveals a fresh new
image. We can appreciate his efforts as we empathize with his subject
matter. No one is perfect and it is through carefree disregard that
we can attain freedom from the ideal body.
